Notes category
MS 98 (dating from the early 13th century) is a manuscript linked to the foundation of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø itself. Although it predates the college by some one and a half centuries, it arrived at the college library with 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s founder in the late 14th century. Donated by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester and founder of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø, MS 98 came from a monastic context in Cambridgeshire to reside in the college’s library until the present day.
